The ruling on shaving some of the hair and leaving some in Hajj and 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And other than that, the Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah said that a man shaving the hair alone for every type of the beauty and elegance of the calf.

Answer:
Is it for the man? Present. There is no choice but to shave all the hair; it is not permissible to shave some and leave some, because this has not been narrated from him. The discussion is only about shortening. If one shortens in Hajj or 'Umrah, if he shortens from his head, shortening means the act of shortening. Some scholars are satisfied with shortening part of the head, but the majority hold that it is necessary to cover the entire head with the shortening, and this is the correct view. Therefore, it is necessary to cover the head from all its sides, not from every hair. For this reason, they say he covers it in its entirety, not in all of it, meaning it is not required that he shorten from every hair, but it is required that he shorten from all sides of the head: the right, the left, the front, the back, and the middle. This is what... Yes.
As for shaving, no one says that he shaves some and leaves some, because this is the balding (qa'q) that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade, as it is imitating the Christians. There is a group of Christians called the shammas who shave part of their heads and leave the rest. We have seen some ignorant people in Hajj who shave part of their head and leave part of it. We said to them, and they said, "This is for the 'Umrah, and this is what we shave in Hajj." They divide their hair into two parts: a part they shave in 'Umrah, and a part they shave in Hajj. This is ignorance; it is not permissible.
